Asrock Deskmini 92mm cpu fan holder

thingiverse

The Asrock Deskmini A300 / X300 is a great tiny Ryzen APU platform, but the built-in CPU fan is a bit noisy. I wanted to replace that fan with a near-silent Noctua NF-A9 92mm. The NF-A9 cannot be screwed onto the CPU heatsink that comes with the Deskmini, so I designed a holder that clamps the heatsink and new fan together. The fit is very snug, there are screw holes for the fan but you probably won't need these. The heatsink clamp is shallow enough to permit sufficient airflow. The pictured print was draft-quality on a Creality Ender 3, and was good enough to final use.
